Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Northern District of Georgia
_________________________________________________________________
(September 25, 1998)
ON REMAND FROM THE SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES
Before HATCHETT, Chief Judge, TJOFLAT, Circuit Judge, and CLARK, Senior Circuit Judge.
PER CURIAM:
This case is before the court on remand from the United States Supreme Court for further
consideration of our earlier opinion in light of Dooley v. Korean Air Lines Co., Ltd., 118 S. Ct.
1890 (1998). In accord with the Court’s opinion, we reverse our previous holding that appellees
may recover damages for pain and suffering on their survival action claims based on general
maritime law in conjunction with the Death on the High Seas Act, 46 U.S.C. App. §§ 761-768.
See Gray v. Lockheed Aeronautical Sys. Co., 125 F.3d 1371, 1381-86 (11th Cir. 1997). We
affirm the remainder of our decision that does not touch such survival action claims, and remand
to the district court for further proceedings consistent with our decision and Dooley.
REVERSED IN PART and REMANDED.
